Happy Thanksgiving!

Full of gratitude this Thanksgiving for my loving and devoted family and for wonderful caring friends! I've always wanted to do gifts and cards for Thanksgiving but I'm usually too pre-occupied with trying to get all my Christmas projects done on time. This year I found myself so behind schedule anyway, I figured what the heck! Made up a batch of Furikake Cereal Mix for dh to take to work (using the same recipe I used for the pretzel sticks at Halloween) and just HAD to decorate the bottle. Found the turkey cut on the Cricut Paperdolls cartridge and used nestabilities dies for the circle and scalloped circle.
Knew I wouldn't have time to make any Thanksgiving cards, so I opted to send photo cards instead, with the help of Hallmark.com.

I really enjoy doing my photocards on this website for several reasons. For one, the quality of the cards is unbeatable. The finished cards are printed on heavy card with a really nice, satiny smooth semi-gloss finish on all sides, allowing you to add photos and sentiments to every side of your card. I am always very pleased with how professional the finished card turns out.

Another plus is that I can personalize each individual card with a different sentiment for each recipient. And best of all, I can create my cards online months in advance or just a few
days prior, and Hallmark will mail the card directly to the recipient on the day I specify. The cards range in price from $2-$3, so it costs about the same as going out to purchase a pre-made
card at the card shop. Here, I've also posted some of the other cards I've made and had sent from the Hallmark website. These were birthday cards to dd and dh from our doggie. They were really quick and fun to do!

Oh, and if you are a Hallmark rewards member, you can reap crown rewards on these photo card purchases as well. Whoops!...sorry...I guess I'm starting to sound like some commercial, huh. LOL!
